A Dispatch From Japan 2025

Japan 2025 is a version of Japan 2000—albeit with fewer young people, many more old people, and a society that has no idea where it is going. Japan simply runs in place, waiting to see what might evolve next. Change comes slowly here, but eventually enough will accumulate to bite you in the oshiri. You want it to happen so badly, to be the future, but Japan stubbornly refuses to accept the assignment.
